Axel Blackwood catches a thief and is astounded to see that he
closely resembles Liam Alloway, the love he lost seven years ago in an attack
by the evil woodland folk known as threeves. Axel suspects he's fallen prey to
dark magic, but can't help becoming infatuated with his prisoner. He's
overwhelmed with the hope that he can at last bring his lost lover home,
despite everything that warns him it's all a diabolical trick. Bryn Darrow, the
half-threeve, half human orphan sent to trick Axel and rob him of much more
than a simple gem finds himself equally as fascinated with his handsome human
captor and the lure of someplace to call home, but he knows deep down that the
constable is in love with a dangerous illusion. When he's commanded by the
threeves to murder Axel and steal a witch's powerful grimoire, he's forced to
decide between the only family he's ever known and the one person who might
rescue him from a life of isolation and pain. Will Axel and Bryn be forced
into a deadly confrontation before they can discover the truth?

Excerpt:

“What
are you, Bryn Darrow?” Axel asked.

“Wish
I knew,” Bryn answered, shaking his head and chuckling. “You can go on
pretending I’m this Liam person if you want.”

Axel
jerked his hands away from Bryn’s back as if he’d been burned. “I’m looking for
your clan sign. Why’d you remove it?”

“Looking
with your fingers instead of your eyes? Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mind it.”
Bryn looked over his shoulder with that annoying, delectable smile. Only the
memory of being spelled senseless stopped Axel from resuming his exploration of
Bryn’s skin, kissing his neck, pushing him down into the grass—
